Watch this video and tell me you disagree with the headline statement of this post:

In case you want it in writing:

“The government of course has a lot of mandates, and I know folks don’t like that — mandates kids go to school, mandates they have to have auto insurance if they have an automobile. And my conservative friends say, well we don’t have to have automobiles, well what state do you live in? Of course you have to have automobiles in this nation.”

Tea Party grassroots must mandate that Mittens Romney be immediately driven into obscurity and completely disregarded as anything remotely resembling a Tea Party, limited-government conservative.

I'm sure the Soros trolls at Think Progress have this video up because it is so anathema to where the nation is philosophically at at this point.

I would agree that Mitt is a squish -- but sincerely hope that most folks' fall-back position is "ABO" -- Anybody But Obama. That means if Romney wins the nomination, hopefully there won;t be a lot of hands-sitters or -- worse yet -- folks voting for Obama.

Whatever Romney's positions may be, at least he would make a competent executive. Obama is just plain clueless.

I noted in another place, that the argument Romney puts forth here is the same sloppy argument we get from the trolls defending Obamacare. But what else could he say? He has to CYA if he wants to make it through the primaries.

It just doesn't speak very highly to me of his intellectual honesty. And if he really believes it, then God help us all!
